cookie left overs


So here's what i do with my cookie left overs...


Put them up in a large zip lock bag and smash up cookies...


So this time i  got about 3 cups of crushed cookies.


Added 1 1/2 sticks of softened butter and about 1/2 can of cooked sweetened condenced milk. Also 3 teaspoons of cocoa powder. Mixed well.



Layed all the mixture out on clear plastic wrap.


Straightened it out.


And wrapped it in, closed the ends. And refrigirated.


Enjoy
